SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 644,852, dated March 6, 1900.

Application filed July 27,1899. Serial No. 725,218. (No model.)

` T LZ/ w/tom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARL Ercnnivmrnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Yonkers, in the county of Westchester and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Electric Pumps, of which the following is a specification This invention relates `to electric pumps,

Aand particularly to improvements over the electric pump forming the subject-matter of my Patent No. 618,404, dated January 31, 1899, in which a dy'namometric or relief spring is interposed between the pump driving mechanism and the motor, such a spring being also employed in the present invention. y p

The main object ofthis'invention is to pro'- vide suitable means for maintaining a constant pressure on' the mains under conditions of variable water demand. i

A further object is to provide means whereby any electric motor may be used in connection with the pumping mechanism without having to use one which isspecially constructed `with the armature mounted on a hollow shaft, such as is shown iu my said patent.

A further object is to provide a specially-y designed motor possessing advantages over a motor wherein the'armature is'magnetized by the field-coils and also to obtain a motor that is as near magnetically perfectas is practicable without directly magnetizing the armature, thus providing a motor which is not liable to become demagnetized or subject to reversals of polarity. v

A further object is to so arrange the safetyresistances as that the armature-circuit is increased in resistance only on extreme changes of pressure--as, for instance, suddenly increasing or suddenly decreasing the pumpmain pressure through any accident in either the delivery or suction parts of the main.

These are among the objects of the invention.

In the present invention a shunt-motor is used as being best adapted for the work; but

wherever reference is made to a motor Ide-- sire it expressly understood that I do not wish to confine theinvention to such a motor.

The invention consists, in the main, of an electric pump in which, to provide for a varying water demand in the same, there is coinbined with a pumping apparatus and motor a hydraulic dynamometric regulating device.

plane of the coils is at all times perpendicu- 'lar to the armature-radii, or, in other Words, the field-coils do not surround the armature through its axial plane, but through the Vertical plane, so that all lines of magnetic force generated by the iield-coils are at all. times perpendicular to the cylindrical plane of the armature and the pole-face air-space.

rlhe invention consists also of certain improvements in the construction of the hydraulic dynamometric regulating device, as will all be described hereinafter and then particularly pointed out in the claims.

In order that my invention may be more fully understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which-'- Figure lis a vertical `longitudinal section of the apparatus, showing the motor, the safety-resistances, relief-spring, the worm,-

the hydraulic dynamometric regulating de-.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the motor, hydraulic dynamometric regulating device, and the pump proper and a horizontal section through the intermediate driving mechanism. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section of the motor. Fig. 4 is an end view of the same. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the hydraulic dynamometric regulating device. Fig. Gis a vertical longitudinal section of the same,- parts being in elevation. Fig. 7

In the drawings, Figs. l and 2, A indicates IOO lol

the pump; B, the drivingmechanism; C, the motor; D, the motor-regulating devices, and E the bed-plate which supports said parts. For convenience of description and for readily identifying the details described with the elementary parts A B C D such details bear for the respective elementary parts the same reference -letter, but are differentiated by means of different exponents.

The pump proper, A, will be described as briey as is consistent with a conception of the present invention, of which the construction of the said pump proper forms no part, as it forms the subject-matter of a separate application. The pump proper comprises a casing a, suction-chamber a', two compression-.chambers a2 a3, and two others, (not shown,) delivery-chambers c3, and two plunger-cylinders d'7, the off one of which is not shown. Suction-chamber a has an inlet or suction pipe a and communicates by means of ports d with the compression-chambers, said ports being closed by spring-actuated valves @11. The inner end of the pump-casing ct is provided with stuffing-boxes @12, through which are guided the rods (113, that carry thel plungers Z111, (one not shown,) which reciprocate in the plunger-cylinders referred to.

Each of the compression-chambers has a port @15, which leads to the delivery-chamber a3 and which is closed by a valve @13. Extending from the delivery-chamber a is an outjournaled.

The bed-plate E supports the casing Z2 Z2 of the driving or power-transmitting mechanism. The inner chamber of worm-casing Z2 forms an oil-Well Z21. Said worm-casing Z2 is provided with boxes b5 Z211, which form bearings for Athe shafts Z2?, provided with `a worm b3, that meshes withaWorm-wheel Z29, mounted on shaft Z21o between cranks Z211 and Z213. Shaft Z913 carries crank-arms Z213 and Z214, respectively, of which arms Z213supportcrankpin Z211, and arms Z214 support crank-pin Z913. The lower casing Z2 carries side supports Z217 Z218 for the boxes Z213, in which the sectional shaft Z210 is The lower casing ZJ also carries end supports. Z221 for boxes Z223, which form guides for rods Z723 of two yokes Z215 Z116, which are supported by the plunger-rods n.13 and rods Z933, said yokes forming guides for suitable cross-heads Z228 on the crank-pins Z211 and Z213.

In one end of the worm-shaft Z27 there is an axial bore Z233, in which is inserted one end of the armatureshaft c, which is provided with a feather c', that fits into a groove Z236, sothat one shaft may move relatively to the other. The worin-shaft is provided with a grooved collar Z237, having two annular flanges Z233 Z233,

between which is arranged a spherical roller (Z, journaled on a pin cl3 of a bell-crank lever d', which is suitably pivoted at the end of the casings Z2 Z2.

Coiled around the armature-shaft c (see Figs. 1 to 4) is a dynamometric spring Z210, which at one end rests in the groove of collar Z237 and at the other end has bearing on cone c3, which is rigidly mounted on the armatures shaft and has an annular groove or track', in which steel balls c4 run. The cone c3 has ridges c3, which keep the spring Z240 in central position. Said balls c4 run in a groove in the collar c7, which is fixed lirmly upon the end of box c3 and against oil-well c9 and cup 010. The box c3 is supported by the lower motorcasing C11, which also supports at its opposite end oil-well C13 and box 019, which is held by thecup p30 and forms a bearing for the armature-shaft. The motor-casin g C11 also includes the supporting-shells 013 C13, pole-piece C14, around which are placed the field-coils C15, and the external field-cores 016 and C11. Lower castingor casing 011 is supported on the bedare held against longitudinal movement on the shaft by clamp-nuts c33,said disks 031,v

which form the armature-core, carrying armature-windings 031, connected to commutator c25. Bolts cwsupport the upper pole-casting e211 on the external field-cores C13 017, said casting being provided with pole-piece 033, around which are placed the field-coils 039 and the inclosing shells e30 c31. lShell e30 is pro vided with hole 033, closed by cover C33 when accessto the commutator is not desired.

Arranged on the upper pole-casting is the bottom supporting-plate d3 of a suitable box, (not shown,) intended to inclose the entire motor-regulating device shown in Figs. l, 2, and 5 to 8, inclusive. A base-plate d1 is-placed on-the plate (Z3 and supports a casting d3, which is composed of main pressure-chambers (Z3 and 017, balanced piston-valve chamber d3, piston-cylinder d3, and ports or ducts d10 and d11, which connect the cylinder d3 and chamber d3. The chambers d and dare arranged at the lower and upper ends, respectively, of the narrower intermediate chamber d3, which is provided with an exhaust-port CZ13 from which the pipe d13 leads oif, while the main pressure-chambers Z3 and d3 are provided with ports d13 which are connected with the main pressure-pipe d that is provided with a cutoff valve C213, whereby the supply from the delivery-chamber a3 ofthe pump, through the opening d in said delivery-chamber, is shut off. Piston-chamber d3 is closed at each end by head Z13 and d1", head (Z13 being provided with a projection d3@ and head CZ13 with a projection or boss CZ24. d21 is a piston which is packed by packing $32 and is guided in chamber cZf, its piston-rod Z123 being guided through the head CZ13 and the strokes of the piston being limited in upward and downward direction by projections 34 and d20, respectively. The head d has a stu fling-box C123 for the piston-rod d33.

At the upper end of the piston-rod CZ33 is a cross-head d3, which is guided on parallel rods Z137 d, arranged one at each side of and supported at their lower endsby the upper end of the piston-chamber and at their upper ends by overhanging arms or extensions (Z38 IOO IIO

of a bracket (Z22, that is iixed on the upper endA of the main pressure-chamber (17. The bracket (Z22 has a lower ring (Z55, whereby a diaphragm (151 is clamped over the otherwiseopen upper end of the chamber (Z7, and the upper part of the bracket is provided with a cup d5-2, between which and the diaphragm (121 a dynamometric spring (Z23 is arranged. Above the cup (Z52 the said bracket bears a plate (154, which serves as a guide for a rod (Z55, which carries on its lower end a balanced piston-valve (Z55, guided in the intermediate chamber (Z5, before referred to, and consisting of enlargements (Z37 and (135 for closing and opening the ports (Z11 (Z55 to the exhaust and pressure and of anintermediate part or neck (Z55, the annular space around which forms the exhaust-port of the valve when either ports (115 or (Znl are in communication with the space around said neck and with the exhaust-pipe (Z12. Said rod (155 carries a disk (Z45, against which is clamped, by means of disk (141 and nut (Z42, the diaphragm (Z21, andit also carries nuts (ZL13 and (144, which limit or stop the valve in its upward and downward movements, respectively, by striking against the plates (Z35 and the cup 32. 1

rlhe main frame or casting (Z5 of the regulating device also supports a fulcrum-rod (Z55, which extends transversely thereof back of the chamber (Z8 and carries a double rock-lever (145, the two*rear arms of which extend on each side of the said frame or casting (Z5 and are provided with pins (Z57 (145, which form bearings for the lower ends of links (ZA49 (Z55.l The upper ends of the said links have bearing on pins (Z51 (Z52, which project `from opposite ends of cross-head (125. At its :forward end the double rock-lever (Z45 carries a pin (Z52, that passes through a slot (154 in the adjustable slotted link (Z55, which is fulcrumed on a pin (155, carried by another double lever (Z57, to be described. Link (Z55 has a notch (158 at one side of its slot, into which engages the pin (153 of the rock-lever (145, and which is made with an arc having the axis oil lower pin (Z55 as its center. A spring (Z is coiled upon the pin (Z55, one end bearing on the end of the lever (Z55 and the-other end riding upon the inneredge of the link (155and its tendency being to keep the pin (153 engaged in the notch vor recess (Z53 and to automatically engage it with said notch should it at any time be de` sirable to start the pump above the desired pressure. The said link may be easily disengaged from the pin (152 by hand. The lower lever (Z57 is fulcrumed on the rod (145 ot lever (Z45 and bears at its outer end a cross-rod (155, which carries a brush (155, retained by a setscrew (Z51. Said brush (Z50 is adapted to bear upon and travel over the set of resistanceblocks (152, which are supported by a bracket (Z52, mounted on the base-plate or bottom (Z5, and which include the armatureresistances r', r2, T5, T5, T5, T5, W, T5, and r. (See Fig. 10.) Double lever (Z57 carries beyond one end of the pin (Z55 an engaging pin (Z55,which is adapted to engage with the U-shaped slot of a cam (155, mounted on ahub (Z55, thatisjournaled on a shaft (155, projecting froma bracket (152, that is arranged at one side of lever (155. Projecting in opposite directions from the said hub (Z55 are the cut-out knives (157, the movement of which is stopped in the one direction of rotation by a stop-block (170 and in the other by opposite-projecting contact-forks (Z71 and (172, said stop-block and forks being arranged upon the said bracket (Z55. Hub (Z55 also carries a trip-pin (Z55, which engages with a cam projection (Z74 of an arm (175, fulcrumed on the bracket (Z52at (155 and kept in action byaspring (ZW, which is fulcrumed at (158 on the bracket (Z59and bears against a pin (Z55, projecting from the bracket (Z55. Y

The before-referred-to bell-crank lever (Z, which is acted on by the dynamometric spring Z140 between the armature-shaft and Wormshaft, is fulcru med on a pivot-pin (Z55, (see Fig. 9 in particular,) which projects from a bracket (15.1, mounted on the end of casing ZJ. Bell-crank lever (1 carries at its upper end a hub (Z552, from which projects a rod (Z55, held fast by a set-screw (Z55, and which carries a brush (155, which is adapted to bear upon and travel over safety armature-resistance blocks (Z55, which latter take in the resistances 155,751, T12, 152, and r, '155,' and r1, (see Fig. 10,) that are supported by a bracket (Z55, mounted on the base-plate (Z5 above the armature-casing.

The operation is as follows: When the electrical connections are formed, the armatureshatt c drives the worm-shaft b5, which has a feather-and-groove connection, as described,

with the armature-shaft, so that a sliding or 1 axial movement of the. worm ZJ7 with reference to the armature-shaft is obtained, depending on the more`,or less counteracting effect of the worm wheel or 4gear Z22, which axial movement is taken up orcushioned by the dynamomet-ric spring Z945, the thrust of which latter is taken vup'by the frictionless ball-bearing c4.

The worm b5 drives the worm-Wheel b9, which i is mounted on shaft Z910 between the ninety-degree cranks,which reciprocate the cross-heads in the yokes Z225 Z925, so that the reciprocating and circular motion of the cross-heads is transmitted into a transverse reciprocatory motion in the pump plunger-rods and plnngers. The delivery-chamber (z5, which contains themain pressure, transmits its pressure through the connecting-pipe (114 to the pressure-chambers (Z5 and (Z7, so that a like Huid-tension exists therein, whereby the parts connected with said chambers are, in connection with the latter, enabled to act asa hydraulic regulator which is governed by the dynamometric spring (Z52, by which, through the aid ot the` desired pressure, or, in other words, when the cut-out switch C107 completes the motorcircuit and the armature-resistances T to T9 is automatically increased under gradually-increasing load through the operation of the dynamometric spring Z940 and the rack motion of the worm. The said dynamometric spring e155 regulates the amount of pressure in the pump-main, and as soon as this pressure increases above the required ldegree the lower port (111, connecting chambers C10 and C10, and which is covered by lower enlargement C157 of the piston-valve, is opened by the increased pressure, so that water is admitted into the chamber C10, under piston C141, in a quantity proportionate to the amount of pressure over the required or normal amount. The so-admitted water drives up the piston (101, and the upper piston-valve enlargement C135 opens the upper port C110 and exhausts at the same time and for the same` amount, the rising piston forcing the water above it out through port C110 and exhaust-pipes C113. This same movement of the piston, through the medium of the connecting-links (140 (150, in turn lowers the levers .(140 and e157, so that the armatureresistance is thrown into the circuit. In this case it is of course understood that the pin C150 is in engagement with the notch in link e155. The slotted link e155 allows the motor to be started at any time independent of the operation of the hydraulic piston by a person taking hold of the said link, disengaging it from pin (153, pulling it up, and thereby,

through the movement of the lever (157 and the action of the pin C104 on cam C105, imparting a partial rotation to the cut-out knives or switch (10T and completing the armaturecircuit through contact of said knives with forks (151 (112. The pin (1511 is automatically thrown,by the action of spring (1X, from slot (154 intonotch (155 at the moment the main-pressure falls below the desired amount, whereuponv the hydraulic regulator is ready to 'automatically cut off the current the moment the desired pressure is reached. When the main-pressure is lowered below the required amount, the spring (153 presses the pistonvalve down, thus openingv port (110 to pressure and port c111'to exhaust, so as to force piston C101 down and throw out more or less resistance. If it be desired to disconnect the hydraulic regulator, this is donel by closing the valve (110 in the main-pipe 6114. The safety armature-resistance T10 to T10 is thrown into the circuit by the action of the dynamometric spring Z940 and lever c1 when, from any fault of the suction or delivery valves, the pressure is greatly increased or diminished by an accident vto the suction or delivery portions of the main.

G is the generator, (see Fig. 10,) provided with terminals X X', of which X is connected to the motor-field 015 020 and armature-brushes y y. The generator-terminal X also takes in the cut-out knives or switch C107, which is operated by lever (157, while the terminal X is connected to contact-fork C171. The fork C174 is connected to the motor-terminal Z', and between the forks C171 and d70 are located the cutout knives C107, which are shown in full lines in cut-out position and in dotted lines in completed-circuit position, Ahaving been operated by the movement of lever (157 throughpin (104 engaging with the U -sh-aped cam C105. The terminal Z is connected to the resistance-blocks (102 and includes in circuit the resistances T0 to T through the brush (100, which is connected to the brush C155, which includes either the resistances T10 to T13 or T14 to T10, according to the position of the brush C185 as determined by the action of the dynamometric spring 1940.

When there is a fall in the main-pressure, the lever (151 moves upwardly, causing pin (154 to act on the U-shaped cam 0105 so as to move the cut-out knives c107in contact with the forks e171 C172 and complete the circuit in the main line X Z', the spring-cam C174 acting to keep the said knives (107 in the forks, and at the same time to hold the said U-shaped cam in position to engage with the pin C104 when the lever C157 returns. The resistances T' to T9 are in this way gradually cut out of the armature-circuit Z, y, y', and Z as the motor rises to speed, while as the pressure in the main increases the resistances T10 to T13 are gradually thrown out, the resistances T14 t0 T10 being thrown in only upon a sudden increase of load through the failing action of pum p-valves,waterham mer, &c. When the main-pressure has reached its maximum, the lever e151 moves down, gradually throwing in resistances T to T0, and at the end of its stroke the pin e104 engages with the U-shaped cam e105, and the knives C107 are disengaged from the forks (111 and (172, swinging to their cut-out position against the stop (170, cutting the motor-current and stopping the motor and pump until the lnain-pressure has fallen below the desired pressure, at which time the operation is automatically repeated.

The entire mechanism is self-contained and easily assembled, being composed of four distinct and easily-accessible parts-namely,the pump, the driving mechanism, the motor, and the regulating devices.

The dynamometric or relief spring of the motor has frictionless thrust-bearings, and the use of one such spring in this case allows the motor to be started under gradually-increasing load, with the motorfree from any irregularities of pressure that might be occasioned bythe operation of the pu mp. 'A shuntmotor is here used, as the one best adapted for the work. The field-coils of the motor can be readily wound rectangularly and bent into shape in flat portions whose planes are concentric with the circumference of the armature and the flat portions on the side of the armature being tangential to the cylindrical part of the coil, forming a motor, with the advantages of the construction of a directlymaguetized armature-motor without the danger of polarity reversals or becoming demagnetized.
